Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My students are English Language Learners (ELL) who are in a bilingual classroom meaning they are learning to read and write in their native language (Spanish) first. They all come in with different levels of English Proficiency meaning some can speak a little English, some speak a lot of English, and some with no English at all. As a kindergarten teacher, I will have students who have never been in school and some who have attended Pre-K, Head Start or some form of preschool. I also have some who are new to the country whose parents just came from Mexico. As small children getting used to the school environment, they have different needs that need to be fulfilled in order to be able to learn.

My Project

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) and coding (computer science) are high need employment areas. In the state of Texas there are 38, 251 open computing jobs, but only about 2,714 computer science graduates each year. Texas dedicates no state funding to computer science professional development for teachers, requires all high schools to offer computer science courses, but has no curriculum standards. It is my goal to be able to provide my bilingual students with a STEM and Computer Science curriculum in my classroom even though I am not required to do so. I want my students to be able to be successful and be exposed to a field that could provide them and their families a stable future, in other words, The American Dream. I will be able to use these materials to help students use what we will learn in our STEM and coding curriculum in a hands on way. The Osmo kit uses iPads in order to do a variety of activities that will bridge physical and digitial activities together. The Cubelets robot blocks will help us with robotics. The Legos, Goldiblox, magnetic blocks, and circuit blocks will help with building and engineering. The Ozobot and Robot Mouse will help students practice their coding skills.
